This is one of my favourite YA, guilty pleasure, get-me-out-of-a-slump books. It’s just so fun and easy to read.
I love all the characters. Gloria, Lorraine, and Clara are all great main characters and narrators, and I enjoy all of their perspectives.
I also love all the tropes in this book. They were all predictable, but I love them nonetheless. The “fake dating oops I fell in love” trope, the “stern man with a soft spot for his love” trope, forbidden romance, pining best friends. They’re good tropes, Brent.
I also love the plot and setting. Flappers? Yes please. The white, seemingly perfect girl who wants to be a singer and is falling in love with the black musician? Also yes please. Illicit speakeasys, gangsters, secrets. Yes to all of them.
So, is this book groundbreaking? No. Is it predictable? Yes. But I don’t care because it’s a fun, easy read, and sometimes that’s all you need.
